Automatic Transmission Torque Converter Problems of Nissan Sentra

As we were on the highway, the speed started to reduce on its own. There was some vibretions. As we oushed in and went up a hill on the street, the car slowed to a halt. The car cut off 3 times. It would allow a start, but no gear changes. Then, it wouldnt start. Had to get a transmission as torque converter and other were out.

The vehicle was in motion coming off the highway and onto city street. The torque converter gave out and the vehicle began sputtering at stop signs and light, and then thrusting forward jolting toward traffic. I nearly had two other vehicles rear end me during sputtering, and I nearly hit a vehicle in front of me when the car thrust forward violently. I turned in to the nearest automotive repair shop who told me my torque converter blew and I was very lucky to have not been in an accident. I have owned this vehicle 82 days and now have to do an entire transmission rebuild, which after extensive research I have found this is very common with a cvt transmission. I feel like this is something Nissan should address, as I endangered the lives of my children, myself, and other drivers/passengers on the road. The car has been regularly maintained and has only one previous owner. I did not even drive 2,000 miles before this incident occurred, and I fully believe these constant variable transmissions pose a threat to anyone operating a vehicle, and that this is grounds for a factory recall or at the least additional safety warnings. Thank you.

On 7/30/2018 I was driving, when I came to a stop my 2014 Nissan Sentra sr with 54,000 miles on it stalled. I thought it may be a fluke, but kept happening. This only happened when in gear and at a complete stop. If I was in park or neutral it would not stall. Took it to the dealership that day. Found out on 8/01/2018 that the torque convertor is bad and they are replacing the transmission.

Transmission crap* reported the issue yesterday with the Sentra going into limp mode at any time without warning dropping from 70 mph to 10 mph. Codes p0744, p1722, p1788 transmission codes. P0744 means you have to buy a whole new torque converter solenoid unit as you cannot just replace the solenoid. Cost of the unit $1,116. 00. The p1788 code is the step motor that is inside the transmission. Aamco will not even rebuild the cvt transmission. They told me cheaper to buy another transmission than to fix this one. Time Nissan is held accountable for cutting corners on their transmissions in order to make profit. They are held accountable for the 2007 - 2010 cars, time to add 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 - ? since cvt transmissions are junk. Daughter Sentra only has 103,000 miles on it and well taken care of. For a car to go into limp mode with no warning is waiting for a fatal crash. Luckily this did not happen to my daughter. Appears the extended warranty Nissan placed on 2007 - 2010 models experiencing the same problems my daughter has with her Sentra. She graduated college and now is faced with a 2000+ bill for a repair since she cannot afford a car payment yet. What a way to welcome someone to the real world after graduating from college 3 days ago.
